Once again, we hear the call for Republicans to come to their senses and stop picking conservatives who cannot win an election. Well, I have a few words for those people but I have to maintain a certain modicum of civility so I'll just not go there. Right now. Yes, it is definitely time for the GOP to come to their senses and this is how I think they should do it:
First step: I think they should get out their 2012 Platform and actually read it. I have and I can tell you, GOP Senators such as McCain, McConnell, Graham, House Speaker Boehner, Rep. Cantor (for starters) should also sit down and really read THEIR platform. It speaks volumes; however, it appears it is only symbolic to these men. Sounds good, but they have no intention of adhering to it.
Second step: Party unity - there is none. We have been witness to the viciousness of certain GOP 'elitists', the likes of Senator McCain, calling certain conservatives (such as Senators Cruz and Paul ) 'radical' and "wacko birds. This because they dare to attempt to do what they were sent to Congress to do - represent the American people. Senator Paul you will recall filibustered over the White House drone policy thereby holding up the nomination of John Brennan as the new CIA Director until he was able to get, in writing, a statement from the DOJ's AG Eric Holder, that drones would not be used on American soil to kill Americans. Senator Cruz's 'sin' was talking for better than 20 hours on the Senate floor to alert Senators, Houses members and the American public as to the content and impending consequences of the ACA otherwise known as Obamacare.
